      Can you imagine how different society would look without the ingrained assumption that acting like a callous, shouty asshole is a super-common, largely unavoidable and maybe even necessary side-effect of how (overwhelmingly male) leaders do Good Leading? I mean, goddamn.

      Imagine if routine explosive outbursts of temper, rudeness to others and/or callous indifference to human problems were viewed as things that *disqualified* someone from being a good leader, rather than just the crosses we're all meant to expect to bear from those at the top.

      "What, you think it's possible for leaders to be perfect? Any set of prioritised behaviours for leadership is bound to have weaknesses!" Well YES Chadrick, but that doesn't mean we need to accept one particular SET of flaws as The Only True Acceptable Cost Of Doing Business.

      I'm just so goddamn tired of reading about how a particular politician/sporting coach/publisher/lawyer/surgeon/whoever is known to be a brutal pain in the ass who abuses their employees and shouts and behaves badly, but it's worth it (ha ha!) because they're just so damn GOOD.

      This attitude can go fuck itself with a pinecone-cactus hybrid. HOW YOU TREAT OTHER PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE'S A POWER IMBALANCE IN YOUR FAVOUR, IS A VITAL PART OF ANY JOB, AND IF YOU'RE DOING IT BADLY THEN YOU'RE DOING THE WHOLE DAMN *JOB* BADLY.

      We'd never accept that eating at a restaurant where most of the staff routinely abuse the customers is a sign that the servers are really passionate about, and therefore excellent at, their jobs - but we DO accept restaurant managers abusing their servers as business as usual.

      Why? Because we live in a culture that increasingly views power as a right without any corresponding responsibilities. We expect to be treated perfectly by anyone we see as a social lesser and abused by those above us: responsibility travels down as autonomy travels up.

          It's completely fucked, and there's so many correspondingly terrible intersections of prejudice and class that make the whole thing even worse for various individuals, but god. What's almost worse than the problem itself is how rarely we acknowledge it as a problem at all.

          By which I mean: even if we *do* call out particular individuals in a meaningful way, it's usually just as that - as INDIVIDUALS, and not as people whose behaviour is both fundamentally excused and cultivated by various social systems as a whole.

          Replying to @fozmeadows

          I once had a boss shove a burning hot baking pan just pulled out of the oven into my bare hands and never even got an apology from the motherfucker. He was "helping."
